Apply for a project

Apply for HPC resources of a new project

If you wish to apply for a project which will have resources allocated at HPC2N, the Principal Investigator (PI) has to apply for one according to the rules described on SNIC homepage. There are three different kinds of projects you can apply for: small, medium, and large. You apply for all of them on the SNIC SUPR page, which means you need an account there.

When you start a project application, the progress will be saved as 'In Preparation' on your SUPR page, and you can continue working on it later. Just remember to save the changes you make to each of the sections!

You will need to fill in more information for the larger projects, than the smaller ones. However, there is some information you will need regardless of the type of project: Title, Abstract, Resource Usage (how do you plan to use the requested resources), Classification (VR classification codes), length of project (1-12 months), which resource(s) you wish to use, and the amount of core hours/month you need.

Much of the information on the application will be filled in, but you should check that your contact information and such is correct.

Note, to apply for a project, you need to be the PI.

Small level requests:

Max core hours/month/resource depends on the resource. It is currently around 5000 core hours/month.

Projects

Please look under project info for details on how to obtain project information about current and past projects an HPC2N.

Expiring projects

If you have jobs still in the queue when your project expires, the priority of those jobs are lowered drastically. However, your job will notbe removed, and you can change the project account for the job with this command

scontrol modify job=<jobid> account=<newproject>
